caro’s redemption?

We get it:Novak Djokovic + Maria Sharapova (+ Andy Murray, even) means that Head‘s got all sorts of momentum right now and they’ve done well with their marketing campaigns so far (our faves: Murray’s Facebook “likes” and racquet bag messages; Nole’s “No1vak” rebranding), so we were disappointed with the unimaginative user submission component of their latest — the Nole/Maria back-and-forth. Still, crossing our fingers that they’ll get a certain aspiring actress to enter!

US Open: Caro’s still in the 2011 U.S. Open women’s singles draw. She’s set to face Andrea Petkovic in the quarters and likely Serena in the semis. The QF was originally scheduled for yesterday but has been delayed with the two days of rain; Petko and Caro will play the second match on Armstrong today.
